We've got this most amazing garden and we realised with our cancer patients, the treatments that they have, they have to be very careful to protect themselves from the sun and things and with our increasingly hot summers, we really wanted a space where they could sit, enjoy the space and just have some time to themselves and appreciate where we are.

And we just, I can't tell you how grateful we are.

Firstly, there seems to be no plan for a return for the much needed buses throughout Earlswood. Secondly, there's a major gap in the cycleway and path plans. They've left out Princes Road and Asylum Arch Road, despite these having a Surrey maintained path and also a cycle route.

And thirdly, there's no mention of a crossing for the A23 at Asylum Arch Road for the much needed access to Earlswood Common.
